It's hard to say if this would be approved even under a normal administration. If UP and NS get to merge, I would expect BNSF and CSX to try and do the same, leaving just two national train companies. But there are still hundreds of Class II and Class III railroads operating in the US, so as long as there are concessions made to ensure long-term trackage rights, it would not necessarily be rejected out of hand.

Union Pacific gave 2x more to all politicians than CSX. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/union-pacific-corp/summary?id=D000000118 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/union-pacific-corp/summary?... https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/csx-corp/summary?id=D000000148 https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/csx-corp/summary?id=D000000...
